What should I wear?
Roller derby is a sport, so come dressed like you’re about to do some exercise. That means no tight jeans or pants, no short skirts/shorts that leaves your poor bare legs open to rink rash, and don’t wear anything that restricts your movement. Also bring a big bottle of water (because you’ll be sweating!) and snacks if you need them.

How much am I expected to commit to the Pirate City Rollers?
Your time, enthusiasm, and a good, patient attitude. Once you’re a Full League Member you’ll be expected to attend league practices (two hours, three times a week), in addition to team practices. You must attend a minimum number of practices before you’re allowed to play a game.

On top of that, everyone is required to work at bouts and other events that PCR puts on. Roller derby, and PCR, is a skater-run organisation, which means you’ll be required to work on a committee and attend league meetings to remain an active member. You’ll also have to pay training fees throughout the year.

Sounds like a lot of work? That’s because it is. You’ll become part of a community that relies on, and supports, each other to make PCR the best that it is. Any skater within the league will tell you that the commitment is worth-it – just think about all of the brand-new friends you’ll make!

However, if you really don’t think you can commit, there are plenty of other ways to join PCR – volunteer to work at a bout or become a non-skating official. Send us a message: officials@piratecityrollers.com
